Buenos Dias mi amigos,! We are now in Zhewat, and of course its beautiful and sunny. So lets fill you in on the adventure to get here from Sayulita. Well, i went into a depression for about 2 days after leaving Sayulita, it was paradise, i think Rryla did as well. It took 3 days to get here. We stopped at a Walmart in Puerta Vallarta to stock up and than took a route around the city to get onto the freeway. It took us through the old part of P.V> and, WOW, how beautiful it is. It really felt like we were in the heart of Mexico, not all the touristy places. We went up and down windy roads high above the town and the ocean. The road actually continued to be very windy and hilly all the way to Zhewat, it was very tense in some places because there was the white line on the left hand side and than the steep cliff, absolutely no shoulder to rely on. My mother would of been just in a state if she were there! We could only average about 30mph because of the road but the v iews were spectacular.! Our first night was in Malachie (sp) the rv park we stayed in took us right through town.. The town looked like a bussiling little village, the older girls were excited to check it out. We parked right on the beach and set up for the evening, Teaghen and Rryla hoped on their bikes and headed into town. Mark took the little ones for a swim in the pool, i took some much needed alone time and finished reading my book, "Shantaram" what a great read.! We woke up bright and early and got back on the roller coaster of a hwy. Day 2 brought us to a place called Rio Nexpa. It was really neat to go their because Mark, Kiwi and John went on a road trip about 12 yrs ago and spent 3 weeks their, so for Mark, to be back their was pretty cool. The waves were rippin. You wouldn't find this little spot on a map, well it wasn't on our map anyways, but if your into surfing you got to make it here some day (Aaron, im speaking of you). The people were very friendly, it was a very quiet place, we dry camped here for the night. The next day we set out once more to finally reach Zhewat.
The great thing about being here is that Marks parents, Marie and Stuart are here until the end of this month, and also we are hooking up with some other relatives, Uncle Ron, Auntie Liz, Conrad and Grandma Healey for a day when they come into town from their cruise ship, that is on the 18th. So far we have had a great couple of days here. We have been to two different beaches, one was los Ghetos, we took a boat to it. The water was a crystal blue color and we all did some snorkeling. Brooklyn proved to be a natural for her first time out.! The Rv site we are staying at is just a gravel parking lot really, with hook ups. Their really arent too many sites to choose from here, and they are all the same. The town itself is quite large, bigger than Squamsih, and it's real touristy. Marie and Stuart took us all out for dinner one night. We had a great dinner right on the beach and than went to the town square where we watched a bball game and some fire spinners entertaining. It was fabulous. Thats one of the wonderful things about Mexico, each town has a town square where everyone gets together and mingles. Thier is usually some form of entertainment going on, and everyone is happy. After saying goodnight to the folks we headed home to our parking lot and tried to sleep through the heat of the night. Yesterday is when we were at los Ghatos, Marie and Stuart came as well and treated us to lunch, Thanks so much you guys, Stuart even graciously bought me a 12$ pineapple drink, it was the most amazing drink i'd ever had it was the whole pineapple!! hollowed out with a virgin pina colada in it. It had great big flowers coming out of it and everything. I shared it with the kids and everything, they thought it was great. It feels so wonderful to be taking care of so well!!!
Anyways who knows what the day has in store for us today, i do need to find a laundry mat!!
We hope this sunshine reaches all of you, if not in the sky, at least in your hearts.
Love to you all
PS.
A happy birthday to the beloved Lindsay McIntosh, we will light a candle for her tonight.
for she is with us on our journey
Peace.
